Lavelle has worked with the Chicago Fed’s Detroit branch for nearly two decades and mainly focuses on rural economic development, the auto industry, consumer spending, construction and real estate. He routinely contributes to the Chicago Fed’s portion of the Fed’s Beige Book, a report on the 12 districts represented by Federal Reserve Banks, and is an author for the Midwest and Michigan Economy Blogs.
Lavelle will give a presentation about how larger economic headwinds impact the equipment finance market. In particular, he is expected to discuss how to identify signs of reversals in charge-off trends, strategies to manage macroeconomic conditions and the prognosis for interest rates.
